I’ll keep this short and sweet, just like this quick and delicious smoothie. There is a bit of prep however; you will need to prepare your chia seed pudding the night before, but trust me, it is worth it! This would make a great accent to a Sunday morning brunch with friends, or as a great pick-me-up to get your morning started. I loved the colors and texture created by the chia seeds, this is definitely not your typical smoothie, give it a try this week!
Yum
Notes
The chia seed pudding can be made with any type of milk, for instance you can make it with almond milk or soy milk, I would recommend not trying full-fat coconut milk however, since it can be a bit potent. The pudding can also be kept in the fridge for a few days if you don't end up using it all the first day.
Ingredients
For the smoothie
- ½ cup water
- ½ cup low fat vanilla yogurt
- ½ cup frozen strawberries
- ½ cup frozen blueberries
- ½ cup frozen raspberries
- (you can sub in a frozen berry medley from the freezer section too)
For the chia seed pudding
- 1 (13.5oz) can lite coconut milk
- ¼ cup chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon honey (maple syrup for vegans)
Instructions
For the smoothie
- Place all ingredients into blender and secure lid.
- Blend or pulse until mixture is smooth (about a minute)
For the chia seed pudding
- Combine all ingredients in an air-tight container or mason jar, stir to combine
- Seal container and place in the fridge overnight
How to combine
- I sliced some fresh strawberries and slid them down the side of the glass first, then simply placed a few dollops of chia seed pudding in the bottom of the glass and filled the rest with the smoothie, then topped with fresh black berries and raspberries.
- Enjoy!
